We're celebrating National Craft Month with someone who knows how to make crafting both beautiful and fun!
We've teamed up with Shelly Kim to bring you two adorable projects that'll brighten up your creative corner.
Meet Shelly Kim:
If you're looking for proof that following your creative passions pays off, meet Shelly! This self-taught lettering artist turned her love of modern brush lettering into a full-time creative business — and now she's sharing her artistic joy with others over at @lettersbyshells. Based in Los Angeles, Shelly believes in the power of creativity to change perspectives and bring people together.
Want to peek into her creative process?
Picture this: Shelly's crafting corner is the definition of cozy creativity. With her loyal pup Max by her side and a romcom playing in the background (bonus points if it's The Lizzie McGuire Movie!), she sketches ideas in her favorite journal while sipping on her crafting fuel of choice — usually a rotation of coffee, water, and sparkling water. Her space is filled with what she calls "dopamine decor," keeping the creative vibes high and the inspiration flowing!
Let's create together!
Shelly's designed two projects that are perfect for adding a crafty touch to your space.
First up: a 3D Art Print
This isn't your average wall art. Shelly's illustrated some of her favorite crafting supplies in this layered piece that literally pops with creativity. With painted details and clever dimensional elements, it's the perfect decoration for any creative space.
Tic Tac Toe Board
Who says game boards can't be artwork too? This adorable set features Shelly's signature illustration style and proves that even classic games deserve a creative upgrade.
Picnic Themed Mirror
This snacky accessory is too cute! Shelly has turned a basic round mirror into an adorable, statement piece with just a coat of paint and a few laser-cut shapes.
